Overview

Stuttering & Anxiety Self-Cures (SAC) is believed to be the only book ever written that offers concrete, step-by-step self-cures of stuttering, a disease that many doctors and speech therapists have characterized as an incurable. The author, a then practicing attorney, had a stuttering problem so severe that he could not say his client's (or even his own) name in court. The problem had emerged in his teens and grown progressively worse into his mid-twenties, when he sought psychiatric help. Lacking the funds for more than six sessions, he began to create his self-cures. SAC is a living, breathing, very real human story of the evolution of stuttering-self-cures and of the author's 25-year speech-battle: ten years of progressive speech-deterioration, several years of intensive search for cures that enabled the author to mask most stuttering, and another decade to fully extinguish it. By his late 30's, the author gave some 50 speeches in one year, all without stuttering. The author believes that stuttering can be cured in a year or considerably less, by applying the self-cures that are meticulously and lucidly detailed in SAC. Anyone who stutters, or who suffers speech-anxiety, should read this unique book and say Goodbye to speech problems and Welcome to speech fluency.

This book is a utility. Most life-hacking books outline a problem, but rarely do you get a book that solves the problem. -- Dennis F. I love how you outline specific steps to go about solving the problem of stuttering and speaking in general. I saw this book as a tremendous help to public speaking anxiety at the end. The methods outlined do require work, however the increased awareness and the increased capacity to deal with not only speech challenges, but other issues in general is a rewarding result of engaging in the steps. Well worth the cost and the effort and the result. A true win, win, win scenario. - Colin C. This book is the perfect guide for someone who wants to elevate their ability to communicate freely. The power to express oneself without fear is often overlooked, but for those who face it, whether by stuttering or speaking in public, this book can make significant changes in your life. Marguerite S.

Author Information

Most books related to stuttering have been written by speech therapists of one kind or another, and most, if not all, of whom still stutter to some degree. Many of these authors have spent their entire lives battling in the stuttering trenches, and, to them, go many plaudits, but, sometimes, a person who resides outside the forest can see the trees more clearly, especially when that person has accomplished something that most, if not all, of those other authors have not: namely, a self-cure of his own stuttering; that is, a reduction of Demon Stuttering to such a level that others have not viewed him as a stutterer for decades. Lee G. Lovett, who authored this book, is such a person, and he simply wants to share his secrets with as many others as possible. Lee G. Lovett became a stutterer in his early teens and a sporadically severe stutterer (suffering full blockage in the most crucial situations) in his twenties, at which time he began his search for a cure. After ten years of allowing stuttering to morph into a life-controlling demon, it then took another 10-15 years to discover and implement the self-cures, which he divides into six, user-friendly Steps in this book. As such, the author's battle with stuttering raged for roughly 20-25 years. He admits that errant, sporadic fears of stuttering still raise their ugly heads, but he flatly states that he has not been detectable as a stutterer by anyone for decades now. Before practicing law and co-founding roughly 100 businesses, Mr. Lovett held many jobs (waiting tables, driving a cab, delivering ice, working as a laborer in a steel plant, working in the U.S. Senate as a clerk, doorman, and managing the Republican Pages in the U.S. Senate, followed by door-to-door selling and then as a sales manager for a burgeoning electronics' manufacturer). He then became an attorney and authored several books on communications law, and was an Editor of a Law Journal, but he devoted most of his time to co-founding over 100 radio, cable TV, cellular telephone and other businesses, most of which were long ago sold and/or later merged into public companies but still operate today. For more about Lee, see http: //leeglovett.com/about/. Long retired, Lee remains a devoted family man, married to the love of his life, Lynda Barnes Lovett (a gifted pianist, songwriter and singer, www.lyndalovett.com), and he has four sons, 13 grandchildren and one great grandchild. A once dedicated runner, biker, skier and weight-lifter, his primary avocations are reading roughly a book a week most of his life. BookAWeekMan is his nom de plume for his book reviews online, although hundreds more of his reviews are posted on his website at http: //leeglovett.com/books/). Lee has written many essays (on such topics as Anger, Boredom, Life as Perception, Persuading Others, Self-Acceptance, Serenity, and War), which he refers to as Observations, as he views himself as a work in progress ; so, he attempts to observe rather than preach. http: //leeglovett.com/observations/. To the limited extent that time permits, Mr. Lovett will consult with any and all stutterers, individually or collectively, at no charge for his time. He can be reached at info@leeglovett.com.
